As you have probably guessed by now, we love traveling and Asia is one of our favorite destinations. On a recent trip we decided to fly with Emirates airlines. We had flown them many years ago, but for some reason or another never used them again.

One of our friends recently advised us that they consider Emirates airlines to be one of the best in the world, if not the best airline.

Everyone has a bucket list, whether they care to admit it or not? Most people probably haven’t actually thought of it as an organized list as such, just a few recurring thoughts and dreams they have to go somewhere or do something.

A lot of people will periodically update their lists as they get older and change as people, so do their priorities, when maybe once clubbing all night in Ibiza may have been a top priority, as we get older it has slowly slipped further down the list.

On a recent trip to further afield (Australia), we decided to break up the long flights by stopping in Hong Kong for the weekend. This is a great idea, and one we highly recommend when traveling further afield. For starters flying for 20+ hours is just unbearable, and secondly you get to see another destination for very little extra money. This is one of our favorite tips for saving money on flight.

One of the biggest costs when traveling is the flights, especially if you have children and can only fly during the holidays. Airlines are the masters when it comes to pricing based on supply and demand. Meaning holiday time flights are on average 2/3 times more expensive than other times.
